Author: | Christopher Wordsworth |
Tune: | ST. ATHANASIUS |
Composer: | Edward J. Hopkins |
1 Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord,
God of Hosts, Eternal King,
By the heavens and earth adored!
Angels and archangels sing,
Chanting everlastingly
To the Blessèd Trinity.
2 Since by Thee were all things made,
And in Thee do all things live,
Be to Thee all honor paid;
Praise to Thee let all things give,
Singing everlastingly
To the Blessèd Trinity.
3 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand,
Spirits blest, before Thy throne,
Speeding thence at Thy command,
And when Thy behests are done,
Singing everlastingly
To the Blessèd Trinity.
4 Alleluia! Lord, to Thee
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Godhead One, and Persons Three,
Join we with the heavenly host,
Singing everlastingly
To the Blessèd Trinity.
Amen.
